polka dot pocket organizer and more

This is the package I put together for Franfor Lori's Polka Dot Swap. Fran likes the colors brown and orange, so I themed the package around those colors:

I made Fran a pocket organizer. See other pocket organizers I've made here.I found that brown polka dot fabric at my local fabric store- perfect for this project.
I put together a bundle of ephemera for Fran:

I also sent Fran these trims on a vintage Bingo card:I sent Fran a jar full of orange and brown buttons:I also sent Fran her favorite treat: Resse's peanut butter cups. I had to buy a few extra of those because Jesse likes those, too. It worked out well that the treats were orange and brown. I'm all about sticking to the color scheme. Fran mentioned that she likes coffee stained tags, so I sent her some of Blanca's (my favorite): Because Fran likes coffee stained tags, I sent her a distressing kit inspired by the petite inspiration boxes I've been making lately. When I get obsessed, I get obsessed. In the kit I included several pieces for Fran to distress: tags in a variety of sizes, mini envelopes, ribbon, and reinforcements:
